Defense is incredibly expensive now because the supply chains are filled with neglect.

Not a prediction but as a trend I would expect security to get better over time. Although for sure now it is quite messy. At least what was hidden in the past is now visible, and not doing anything for security at least now costs money.

The only place I've discovered where people are pretty vocal about and are creating a culture of actively resisting this mindset is in the commie blue haired, gender-fluid mastodon-based sploit communities

Interesting, I didn't know. At the end of the day you may disagree on side topics like politics but diversity of people is a strength isn't it.
